Technical Specifications

This information is for contract feature assignment photographers for The Iowan.

Shoot in Camera RAW. Do a loose edit of the images created from the assignment, paring the total shoot down to the best 2-3 images from each situation photographed. Include verticals and horizontals whenever possible to allow design flexibility.

It is the photographer’s responsibility to obtain model and location releases if necessary.

Place processed files in a folder labeled with the story’s working title and submit digitally. NOTE: Remember to archive your original RAW files.

We prefer to receive your high-resolution files on a burned disk delivered by mail. Include photo IDs and a submission form with issue and story information. You may submit photos electronically using Dropbox or a program that allows downloading images as a batch, or post images to a lightbox on your website and e-mail the link to Creative DirectorAnn Donohoe. DO NOT email high-resolution photos or use online software that only allows one image to be downloaded at a time (such as YouSendIt). By following these guidelines, you will aid The Iowan in achieving the best possible reproduction of your images.
